I used to be a big fan
of the Thai lunch. Then I read some article a while back that had
the caloric and fat stats in a serving of pad Thai and I just about
barfed up my pyloric sphincter. I might as well attach myself directly
to exit end of the lypo hose at the fat-sucking clinic around the
corner. I was horrified at what I read, and so went Thai cuisine from
my lunch routine. Meanwhile, I lie to myself about the paninis, subs
and Chinese food I chow every day, and will continue to until I get
hard evidence that they're going to kill me. So it was with fear in
my heart that I agreed to come to Aceluck with a co-worker. I ordered
the Rama dish from the requisite lunch menu--which was basically chicken
over a bed of steamed veggies smothered in this terrific peanut sauce.
For $6.95 it came with jasmine rice, a veggie roll and soup, which
was almost too much food. Now I know peanut sauce is generally low
in fat and cholesterol (bwahahaha), but for such a dietetic dish,
the stuff was amazingly tasty. Seriously, though, the meal was really
good, quick and reasonably priced for all the food they put in front
of me. The restaurant itself is a little cramped (as most joints in
Hell's Kitchen are), but clean and comfortable, even if having any
kind of private conversation is less likely than my waistline surviving
another visit. [MF]
